The Walther WA2000 sniper rifle was developed in response to the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, aiming to equip German counter-terrorism units like GSG 9 with specialized capabilities. While adopted by some West German police units in 1976, it never entered mass production, with only 176 units manufactured. Its design was tailored for police counter-terrorism rather than military applications.

This review of the Heckler & Koch P7 PSP highlights its groundbreaking reliability and unique features, such as the squeeze cocker and heel-mounted magazine release. While praised for accuracy and a low bore axis, its high heat generation during rapid fire, limited capacity, and high cost compared to contemporaries like the Glock 17 are noted drawbacks.
